Summary
The Tesla Cybertruck is in crisis. The automaker is still sitting on a ton of old inventory, which it is now heavily discounting, and it is throttling down production.
Tesla is expected to currently be selling the Cybertruck at a rate of about 25,000 units a year – a tenth of what Musk predicted.
Tesla began the second quarter with 2,400 Cybertrucks in inventory, valued at over $200 million. Tesla is now offering deeper discounts on the new inventory of Cybertrucks.
The automaker has reduced its Cybertruck production teams and now operates at a fraction of its original capacity.
Pay me $1000 and I’ll take one. I won’t drive it but I’ll take it.
Make sure you store it somewhere you don’t mind being surveilled.
I’d be willing to buy one to make it my sole mission to jailbreak it if it hasn’t already. I won’t rest until I have it running crysis.
Has anyone played Doom on it yet?
it was a piece of junk when it first showed up in the news as a concept, 5years before it was released and its a junk now.
Is it a crisis when it’s been that way from before the beginning.
Tee hee!
Don’t tease me like this every time something horrible happens to Musk I titter like a schoolgirl
FUCK NAZIS
valued at over $200 million
Bet they aren’t.
For insurance fraud purposes.
I am really looking forward to all the Teslas being stripped down for ev conversions and restomods.
They were overpriced garbage anyhow. BYD is outputting EV’s that are ten times better at a fraction of the cost. The only reason they aren’t being sold here is a bunch of protectionist bullshit that even democrats are responsible for.
It’s only misplaced faith by a bunch of techbro traders that’s even keeping the TSLA stock aloft. Tesla management literally dumps every certificate of stock they get as bonus the second they receive it.
So much of the design is proprietary nonsense, it makes me wonder how much of the trucks can be reused for something people actually want.
Sure, but there are lots of components that people can use. Tesla electric water pumps are used for IC engine cooling even though teslas don’t have combustion. power steering components for upgrades, motors for drivelines, mechanical linkages for steering and suspension. We can definitely use these items in a way the designers never intended.
Agreed. A lot of the EV conversion companies use Tesla parts.
And they put them together with acceptable tolerances it’s wild
Too be fair many EV conversions are bespoke works of art. Price is not a major concern for the owner.
Good. Let it burn.
hope they throttle the production by adding the quality control step

I wonder if Tesla could take the existing Cybertrucks and rebuild them into something else that would see more demand. I mean, plenty of auto companies have models that share a basic platform.
I’d happily watch a destruction derby of them in a giant arena.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I mean I didn’t like the truck when it was first introduced, much less now that I know it’s being built by a company lead by a Neo-Nazi.
I’ll take one if they pay me and I don’t get charged for the fire afters
Oh no … anyway.
They even take it as a trade-in either xD
I think you forgot a word.
They were wont to forget it.
Anytime my group and I see one in Fortnite we have to drop what we’re doing and kill whoever’s in it.
Why the fuck is there a Cybertruck in Fortnite?
Money. Tbf other automakers are in there too, but nothing screams “I’m an asshole” like driving a Cybertruck in-game.
